Guests will enjoy a Cocktail Dinner Reception, behind-the-scenes tours of the ballroom and stage set, and an opportunity to meet the cast of Legally Blonde Jr. The evening features raffle drawings and VIP seating in the front section for the performance, all in support of local arts education.

This event reflects our Foundation’s ongoing commitment to ensuring every child has access to quality arts education. These camps—and the impact they create—are exactly why we do what we do.”
This event serves as a fundraiser to support youth arts education, with all proceeds benefiting the Mahaffey Class Acts Summer Camps, which are made possible through the support of Bill Edwards Foundation for the Arts.
